Stephen P. Frew

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Stephen P. Frew, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Juvin, France, October 15 and 16, 1918. After seeing a runner killed by a shell while passing through a terrific artillery barrage, Private Frew volunteered to carry the message, well knowing that he had to cross an open space swept by machine-gun fire, 400 yards from Ravine au Pierre to battalion headquarters, in full view of the enemy. He showed a courage and bravery which was an inspiration to all of his comrades.
